Textual analysis – woman in black
The opening scene of The Woman in Black establishes it as a psychological thriller through conventions like the children being mentally tormented into destroying their toys and committing suicide. The mise-en-scene of period costumes and toys indicates it is also a period thriller. There is no dialogue, but non-diegetic sounds accentuate the tension as the scene unfolds. Camera angles like extreme close-ups are used to highlight the innocence of the children before they look towards something ominous in the corner. The lighting is dark and ominous, setting the scene for thrills to come. The opening leaves the audience with many questions about the mysterious events.
Pitch
The film Nyx tells the story of a young girl home alone who hears strange noises and sees a black figure after her bedroom door is kicked in. She believes she is going insane until the kitchen door opens on its own and she is attacked. After her death, she returns as a possessed girl who kills people by preying on their insecurities. The filmmakers plan to use hand-held camera work, zooms, match cuts, and other cinematic techniques but acknowledge it will have a low budget without major special effects or gore.
Paranormal Activity 4
This movie explores themes of demonic possession within a normal suburban setting. It follows a teenage girl named Alex and her family who discover their neighbor's child is being cared for by them after his mother falls ill. Strange events begin occurring, captured by cameras the teens have set up, and the neighbor child draws a symbol associated with witchcraft on Alex's younger brother. The film has an open-ended narrative that could continue the story in another installment. It primarily targets teenagers and adults interested in paranormal films. The trailer captures the found footage style through cuts when camera signals are lost and chronicles the increasing strange occurrences through the point of view of the main character.
Sixth sense
The opening sequence of The Sixth Sense uses various cinematic techniques to set up expectations for the film's paranormal atmosphere. Close-up shots of a light bulb emphasize its importance, and shots from behind objects suggest the female character is being watched unseen. Her fancy dress in the dark basement creates an eerie sense of uncertainty. Non-diegetic sounds build tension and suspense, while slow editing and low lighting further unnerve the audience. Through these techniques, viewers learn the film will feature a weak female character in danger from mysterious unseen forces.

Media timeline
Web 2.0 describes websites that use more advanced technology than early static websites, allowing users to interact with and share information on the web. Pop-ups originated as small advertising windows that opened automatically on web pages in the 1990s as a way to advertise products online, and major browsers began allowing pop-up blocking in the early 2000s. The first sponsorship video aired in 1946 as commercial television licenses were granted, and long-running UK soap opera Coronation Street has had notable sponsors such as Cadbury's and Harvey's over the years.
Evaluation question2

Key similarities included using the same model, font, logo, color scheme, outfits displayed, lighting style, and theme of fun and happiness. These consistent visual elements allowed the audience to easily identify the products and brand across different platforms, strengthening brand recognition and creating an effective multi-channel advertising strategy.
Evaluation question 7

Overall, the progression from a preliminary task to a full film opening helped the student expand their filmmaking knowledge and abilities.
Inbetweeners
The Inbetweeners movie was released in 2011 and made over 2.5 million in its first day showing in 409 cinemas. Directed by Ben Palmer with writers Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, the movie had a budget of £3.5 million. The primary audience for the movie was 15-25 year olds, and it was most popular in suburban areas of the UK rather than inner cities. While successful in Europe, the movie did not see similar success in the US, highlighting differences in UK and US cultures.

Analysis
- 1. Analysis of existing horror openings. By Sophie Bennett.
- 3. Women in black. In this shot at the start it shows the children playing in there room. They look very innocent and as a viewer you can suggest that they do not know what is going to happen yet. This master shot is not related to the film gender ‘horror’ because it is not scary. However because of the background music being a nursery rhyme which are used in horrors a lot, makes the atmosphere scary.
- 4. Women in black. In this shot it shows the three girls looking towards something. However as a viewer you do not know what they are looking at. This is called an enigma code which makes you think of the unknown. From this shot you know that they children are looking at something but you don’t know what yet so it makes the audience want to carry on watching the rest of the film. The décor that is established in this shot shows that the house is old fashion. Old fashion houses are commonly where horror films are set.
- 5. Women in black. Throughout the opening of Women in black there are close up shots of doll’s faces. This suggest that the doll’s are important in this opening sequence and that something later on in the opening will happen in relation to the doll’s. Also the doll’s could be used to emphasize the children’s innocents. However dolls are very common in horror films. The doll’s could also be representing what is going to happen to the girls because the children at the start are in control of the dolls and then the children loose control and are then controlled by someone else. Another reason is that the dolls are broken when the children walk over them and they smash which shows that they are dead and then following this the children die.
- 6. Women in black. The shot showing the window suggest that something is going to happen related to the window itself. However this is another enigma code because the audience do not know what yet. This makes the viewer watch on to see what happens. Following the window shot you see a shot of the girls jumping out of the window. It can be suggested that this is because they are under control of someone else.
